Modern domestic show business is a special world, in some way separated from the rest of civilization, in which slightly different people live, with their own worries, deeds and quirks. Russian performers are, in most cases, persons, albeit without a world name, but quite famous in the vastness of their land and within their native state, and perhaps within the borders of the near abroad too. This article will tell you about popular and in-demand Russian performers over the past decade.
First echelon
So, let's start, then Russian performers will be described. The list is opened by the old-timers of the national stage. Leonid Agutin, Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov, Valery Leontiev, Alexander Rosenbaum, singer Slava, Lolita, the Pair of Normals, Mumiy Troll groups were quite popular at the beginning of the 2000s and were famous for their armies of loyal fans, but with the onset of the second decade of the century they fame has faded a bit. Today, these artists can be seen only at the most traditional concerts and musical evenings. What can not be said about Philip Kirkorov, Valeria Meladze, singers Natalie and Anita Tsoi, the groups "Beasts", "Splin". These artists are in demand and loved by the audience even today. Their concerts still attract millions of fans. And all this despite the fact that they also have the right to call themselves "old-timers of the stage."
The youth
Russian performers are also representatives of a new generation. Their popularity today is at its peak, their CDs are sold faster than others, their tours are scheduled for five to seven years in advance. Young Russian pop artists are quite numerous. Their list includes several hundred names and pseudonyms, the most famous are Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, rapper Timati, his protégés are Yegor Creed, Andrey Grizzly, Alexei Vorobyov, Dan Balan, Dominik Joker, Irakli, Max Korzh, Denis Maidanov, Tamerlane, Vyacheslav Basyul, Ani Lorak, Ivan Dorn, Nyusha, Pelageya, Yulia Savicheva, Anna Sedakova, Vera Brezhneva, Tati, Elena Temnikova, Polina Gagarina, Elvira T, Maxim, Loya, Svetlana Loboda, Stas Kostyushkin, Noise MC, Yuliana Karaulova, "Pizza ", "Silver", M-Band, "23:45", "Banderos", "02.30", Quest Pistols, "Degrees", quartet "Heroes", "China", trio "VIA GRA" and many others.
Voice
Russian performers today are also from many popular television shows. The project with the highest ratings on domestic television is the Voice show. This platform has released wonderful singers such as Gela Guraliya, Elina Chaga, Nargiz Zakirova and many others.
Russian show business is replenishing and Viktoria Petrik can be called a bright representative of this separate group of domestic stage. The girl is the winner of the world famous festival "Children's New Wave". This, of course, is a worthy replacement for the old-timers of Russian show business. Now you know which Russian performers are most in demand at the moment.
